Appraising complementary medicine evidence

Current challenges in appraising complementary medicine evidence, is an article in the latest MJA.  Author J. Sarris argues that research in the area of complementary and alternative medicine and a balanced appraisal and communication of the evidence in the field are urgently required. Current concerns include the potential for selective publication of results, differences in product quality and companies making unsubstantiated claims. Providing intellectual property protection to companies may encourage greater investment in research.
